Bill O’Reilly faces questions about “war combat”
by
•Bill O’Reilly is said to be scheduled to appear on Howard Kurtz’s media program Media Buzz tomorrow morning on Fox News to try to put to rest allegations that he inflated stories about his reporting career. The complaints centre on O’Reilly’s use of the terms “war zone” and his repeated assertions that he had “seen combat” in places like the Falklands War in 1982. His colleagues from that period recall that O’Reilly, and most other reporters, were forced to cover the war from their hotels in Buenos Aires. Many of O’Reilly’s references to the period are phrased as “in Argentina, in the Falklands.” Kurtz’s program is seen at 11 a.m. Sunday on Fox.

The three teens are 15 and 16. The MP, Rushanara Ali, said it appears the girls were persuaded to leave Britain by someone who was talking to them on the Internet.

•Millwood Melt a bit of grilled cheese heaven
by
•The husband and wife team of Aniko Szocs and Stephen D’Amico have just seen their comfort-food business turn three. The couple traded in their lives as English teachers to follow a simple but rewarding dream. The breakfast and lunch restaurant known as Millwood Melt at 902 Millwod Rd. is well billed as a bright and welcoming place for grilled cheese sandwiches with sides of soup and pickles. In addition to the classic grilled cheese, some flagship variations are the Tuna Kahuna (self-explanatory) Green Machine (avocado, arugula, pesto and Monterrey Jack), Hamelot (smoke ham, caramelized onions, mustard and Swiss) and the Rise and Shine (scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh tomato slices, awesome sauce and melty Cheddar). “We try to keep it simple,” says Aniko. The couple’s simple formula has made a sweet piece of grilled cheese heaven. In addition to the sandwiches you can catch, if you like, some veggie straw chips, pickles (spicy or just dill) a variety of canned drinks, water, coffee and organic shortbread cookies. Aniko and Stephen broke out of hit and miss work in the school system when Aniko’s dad retired from his denture making practice in the same centre unit of the little mall at Millwood Rd. at Randolph Ave. Aniko’s family has been at this location for decades. Not to be outdone, however, Stephen says he has Leaside in his heart.
